Ember Connelly

Molly “Ember” Connelly was an Admiral in the Wangdaio Colonies Peacekeeping forces that led rescue efforts on the colony planets in conjunction with The Interstellar Alliance Forces. She was eventually forced to return to the Empire of Tai Pan as part of the fleet assigned to monitor the Solarity of Kowloon in order to protect the Colony refugees that were isolated to an aging space station in the orbit of Piyapon. She is well respected by even the criminal elements that inhabit the Shīzi Station and is regarded as a central figure of stability by the Wangdiao refugees in the absence of their prime minister, Ayana Morita. Most Tai Pan forces regard her as a traitor and an outsider but no one else is willing to be stationed with a decaying station full of crime and rife with poverty.

Appearance and Personality

Personality

Devoted to duty and sworn to protect the people of her failed nation. She acknowledges that fact that her placement is a prolonged life sentence and that if she tries to leave, the Empress of Tai Pan will execute her and the people living on Shīzi Station.

The ship was a patchwork of black, white and red sheets of metal of varying textures, that must have been salvaged from commercial shipping containers. The original paint had been blackened and pockmarked with holes. It was a miracle that the thing was able to be safe operated in any environment, let alone space. Luckily, small miracles were Ember’s forte. Rosalee supposed that if luck were a form of magic, Ember Connelley would be a mage to rival any Jordiantatya hinya. After all, isn’t that why her callsign was for the magical beings of Jord? The more poetic called Admiral Connelly a “radiant light” but Rosalee was a little jaded, and called her “unnaturally lucky”.
